The adventures of reformed killer of women and children, William Munny (Eastwood), traveling to kill two guys for the cutting of a prostitute, for which there is a reward of $1000.

"Clint Eastwood, rummaging about in the mud with Hogs - now that's entertainment! I put that bit in a loop and have been watching it three hours every night ever since. A Hog farming marvel!"

"Did you know that Clint Eastwood is Doowtsae Tnilc spelt backwards?"

Delilah, a prostitute, is cut in the face. Her fellow prostitutes seek revenge and put a $1000 bounty on the heads of the two culprits.

Gene Hackman plays a sheriff who is determined to stop this contract being executed. Hackman's character fails to do this, but manages to catch the third member of the party, played by Morgan Freeman, who is captured (after the first of the two hits) after he turns back.

Freeman's character is killed by the sheriff and after the successful completion of the $1000 contract, Munny returns and kills Hackman.

A wondrous 19th century gallop through the undeveloped country for $1000, to kill a couple of scoundrels who cut a prostitute's face after she threw the evening's piss upon his head! A triumph of revenge-tertainment!

A movie which I enjoyed much better on its second viewing, as then I knew Mr Eastwood's longevity was assured.

Clint's latest masterpiece...
